Leather & Lace

Leather and LaceBack when I was in law school, I was all about the traditional pencil skirt — black, gray, navy and repeat. The classics are great, but pieces with a modern twist are what make getting dressed in the morning so fun.  These days, I gravitate toward pieces with a little more pizzazz and this skirt obviously fits the bill.  Berry, lace, leather trim – that’s the stuff dreams are made of.

Little Leopard Dress

Warehouse Leopard Print DressI used to think I had my wardrobe basics covered when it came to dresses.  Little black dress?  Check.  Little white dress?  Check and check.  But a little leopard dress?  Where have you been all of my life?!
Leopard Dress with Leather Trim I’m no stranger to leopard print: I’m talking pumps, flats, bags, multiple blouses and sweaters.  I usually take leopard in small doses, so a dress is a new one for me.  But I really don’t know why it took me so long add one to the wardrobe, because when you find the right print and the right cut and the cutest leather trimming, the idea of a little leopard dress doesn’t seem wild at all.Black Statement Necklace Black and Leopard Print Outfit Black Purse with Gold Hardware Leopard Print Dress Black and Leopard Print Outfit
